not sure if this has been done but,

So my aim for this is too post something daily, a clip of poker, and have peoples views on it.
im guessing some of you would have seen this first clip

Im going too try and post a different clip everyday. different scenarios folds, shoves, calls, bluffs!!

So the first clip is taken from the WSOP 2008.

so have a look, would any of you make the same decision??  is it a bad fold??

    Yeah, I remember that one - it really is an amazing fold. I don't think I could lay that down there.

    Good fold imo.

    When a guy 3 bets big pre... then goes into check/check mode on flop and turn on that board and makes a big raise on the river.... their range is only ever going to be beating Jacks full.

    So.... could you fold jacks full there?

    it is an incredible fold, he must have a great read on the player too know exactly where he was and he was still ready too call.

    I don't know anyone who could fold in that spot, but hey, that's why he is sitting there I suppose.

    he could be repping a better hand or bluffing him off..... but he just knew.

    love the commentary through it as well and the players reaction when he turns them

    I love this game.

    Why wouldn't it be just the Queen bearing in mind the player with Jacks full has also been checking?  Personally I think the fellow gives it away with his chat, especially the line 'just don't raise me.'  If you have the Queen, you never say that.

    I like this idea Chris =]

    It says he didn't 3bet pre gazza but thats beside the point,seen Roberto make a few big laydowns and this is obv another great one.

    totally agree with this roman when on his game is one of the best I think especially making big lay downs at the right time. me I go broke there

    Read an interview where he mentioned this hand, suee he was suspicious even pre, and the chat confirmed it.

    Edit:here it is:


    ‘In this hand Mike Matusow has limped and I have Jacks. I like to be deceitful so I limped behind to disguise my hand. It comes around to this guy and I know right away when he raises he has a premium hand. Mike Matusow calls and I know straightaway I am calling. The flop comes down A-K-J and instantly I am thinking ‘If I am right I am still beat here.’ Mike checked, I checked and this guy checks behind and I thought that was weird. The 10 comes on the turn and that’s a scare card so everyone checks again. Then another 10 comes on the river and I have Jacks over Tens and I’m thinking maybe I’m wrong so I try and get something out of the hand.  This guy sits there and I can see he’s acting a bit and I instantly know he has Kings or Aces. Before he’s even raised me I know there is no way this guy has anything else. I was 99% certain I was right, but I wanted to make sure. I thought if I fold this and I’m right it’s going to look really good on TV. But if you are wrong you are going to look an absolute dichead. I’m going to be a laughing stock. So I said something just to make sure and as soon as he spoke I knew I was right. When I folded you can see Mike just thinks I have nothing and am wasting time. He already hates my guts as I’ve been annoying him and he’s telling me to hurry up. Then I flip over my Jacks and he goes nuts.’

    This is why live poker rocks. You can get so much more information and time. I thought it was a marginally good fold at the time but listening to his thoughts on the hand from the above post it makes it a quality fold. Amazing.

    And great idea BTW, Chris. Well done.

    Cause if you have the Q you bet the turn?  And probably dont raise big on the river when the board is paired?

    Its such a polarised range given action and its hard to see him doing this with air/worse.  Maybe he can have A10 or something but its hard to see anything other than else other than premium no? I mean he probably bets flop with A10 to protect his hand...

    Definitely easier to get away from after chat though.

    THE DAILY LINK no.2


    "DAN, DAN, HE'S OUR MAN IF HE CAN'T FOLD IT NO ONE CAN!!!" 

    So part 2,

    the life of a pro eh.. always traveling playing with the best in the world on a daily basis, playing the worlds biggest events and having one of the most famous names in poker history.

    one can only dream..... but hey could I call of this amount of money  not chips cash money!!,

    this has too sting and I think he knows as well, but this is one of favourite vids.

    one clip comes with a running comentry on his thought process but wanted the one without and too get your views, if this was your money?

    I love this player, and really enjoy his approach too the game, I love the reads he makes, and he normally knows exactly where he is.

    Yeah, that's a great hand, Chris. Not sure he could have folded there really. Like he said, 'pretty bad cooler'.

    I actually thought if anyone could have found a fold there then it would have been Negreanu. Gus is loose but surely he isn't going to be making a move that big without something that has him beat??? Or would he?? Dunno!

    Great thread though Chris, looking forward to tomorrow's hand

    Another reason why I love this hand waller. I feel he always has great reads. Not just too know that  he  might be behind but the exact cards his oponent has.
    There is a comentry one where dan takes u through stage by stage and why he makes the call. But u can just see how sick he is when he sees them.
